Medication Management
Medication Management: Making the Right Choice for YOU
Making the choice to take medication can be a very difficult decision. If you will be introducing or changing medications in your mental health regimen, you want to know that you will be listened to by your provider. Your desire is to feel understood and to feel that your provider is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
Psychiatric medication management may be right for you. If you are currently in therapy, or would like to be engaging therapeutic services while taking medication, you have come to the right place.
Comprehensive Service
Our providers believe in the necessity of comprehensive treatment and will work with you to find the best fit for your mental health needs. Not everyone who seeks therapeutic treatment will need medication, but an evaluation with one of our providers will help you to determine what may best suit your needs.
Your Best Life therapist will work with your Best Life medication provider to help you to manage any side-effects, progress and changes that are needed for your medications.
How do I know if I need to consider psychiatric medications?
If you have previously been diagnosed with a mental health disorder and prescribed medication, you will likely want to have an evaluation to determine whether medication would be appropriate again if you are still experiencing symptoms.
If you have never been prescribed medications but have been given a mental health diagnosis by your therapist, mental health providers would often say that when you’re engaging treatment but still have persistent symptoms and/or when you find your symptoms intensity to be too great to implement therapeutic practices in between session– this would be a good time to get an evaluation.
If you have never been diagnosed with a mental health disorder by a qualified mental health professional, but you have persistent mental healthy symptoms that are an impediment to your daily functioning at work, home, school and community settings, you may want to call for an evaluation. Our Intake will get you scheduled both for a therapy session as well as a psychiatric evaluation with one of our providers.
